Lyrics:
I was geared up for obscurity
Excited most specifically
About knowing you’d soon reach for me
And I’d be gone
You always took me to another place
Part childhood, part outer space
But the naked truth of our face-to-face
It’s just not what I want
‘Cause even when your body gets that close to mine
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes
And even as you claim that you can read my mind
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes
Love was supposed to help me find myself
Not just put me through this private hell
That gets worse each time I tell you
What feels wrong
Just a glimpse of what’s achievable
A sympathy unspeakable
Has left me a bit unreachable
For way too long
‘Cause even when your body gets that close to mine
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes
Even if you’re still my dr. Frankenstein
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes
You spend enough time with a mystery
Its powers start to atrophy
So if you can’t get to the heart of me
Let’s just walk away
Because even when your body gets that close to mine
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes
Even as we cross each other’s borderlines
We’re still strangers sometimes
We’re still strangers sometimes

If you like Dawes, you´re no stranger my friend.

[@TheAerials]

I think Dawes fans are the nicest people on earth

[@AGENTARMES]

As good as anything Paul Simon ever wrote

[@reteipdevries]

Wow what a great song..........

[@Jdoe12]

Such a good song - Drums are awesome well recorded. Love the chorus it sounds like Foo Fighters melody to me.. Love it!

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

"How a part of ourselves will be unknowable forever, despite our deep connections and intimate understandings of each other." How sensible your observation is, Taylor. I love your music and lyrics. They are so spot-on!

[@papermirror4197]

im convinced that anyone who doesnt like Dawes just hasnt heard Dawes

[@trailwhim]

Huh, just now realized I've never been in a Dawes video, you lucky ducks.

[@CiaoKnives]

This track is just so awesome. Also, the drums on the two singles are really crisp. Love how clear everything is

[@mistybaylock]

Sonic Bliss!!!! The mix on this song is such a treat to take in. Dawes always blows my mind when the simplicity and genius of their arrangements, and their mixes always make every part shine

[@zuiquan7520]

Brilliant to have people who are clearly closely connected sing along to this song about how no matter how close you are to someone, you are still strangers sometimes

[@AdelineJane]

Love it 🥰 ! Is that a St. Bernard playing with Griff? I think the Beagle is very upset to not have made the cut…😊

[@honeypotband]

🙌 Keep slaying those notes

[@stacyt_1967]

Love seeing our Dawes boys and Something in Common fam. 🧡🧡🧡

i love you taylor goldsmith

[@joshuamartinpryce8424]

Strangers teach and loved ones learn.

[@bfeats]

I absolutely LOVE this new song - can't wait for the whole album in October! And absolutely ZERO disrespect to Dawes, but does anyone else think that Foo Fighters could do a killer (harder) cover of this? I can almost hear Dave singing this in my head... and Griffin abruptly switching to that powerful four on the floor beat during the chorus has a "Foo-ish" quality to it.
